West Lawn, Chicago IL 60629 19153280190000 4 units · 1964

Nothing on record for this building in the last seven years. Our model still sees a moderate chance of maintenance problems in the next 12 months, from the owner's wider portfolio and the surrounding area rather than from anything recorded here. No public enforcement record to go on. Walk the building, ask the current tenants how repairs get handled, and get any promises in writing.

Initial analysis

The four-unit residential building at 4424 W 63rd Street in West Lawn, owned by Fermin Hernandez & Leo, has been standing since 1964 and has maintained a relatively low frequency of reported issues over the past seven years, with a total of 13 service requests filed through the 311 system. The most recent cluster of complaints in 2025 appears to center around restaurant-related issues, with two separate complaints filed in May 2025 to both the Health Department and 311 City Services. This was followed by a series of other street-related concerns, including a pothole complaint in June 2025 and a graffiti removal request in July 2025, as well as an abandoned vehicle complaint in August 2025 and a tree emergency in June 2026. All recorded service requests have been properly closed, indicating that the issues were addressed by the appropriate authorities. It's worth noting that all documented complaints have been directed towards public infrastructure and services rather than issues specific to the building itself, suggesting reasonable maintenance of the property by its current owners. Considering the building's age and the number of units, the relatively low number of complaints over this period is notable, though the concentration of service requests in 2025 indicates a temporary spike in reported issues during that year.

Risk rating

How 4424 W 63Rd St's risk score is calculated

We trained a model on 7 years of Chicago code enforcement data — building violations, 311 complaint history, environmental enforcement, and owner track records. It estimates the probability that the City of Chicago will find a code violation at this address in the next 12 months. Lower % = safer.

What the score means for you

Lower risk — safer than most nearby

City inspectors rarely find violations here. Strong maintenance history and a clean complaint record.

Typical — about average for the neighborhood

Some past violations or complaints on record. Worth asking the landlord about any open issues before signing.

Higher risk — riskier than most nearby

Elevated violation and complaint history. City inspectors have found issues here before and are statistically likely to again.

Neighborhood percentile
18thpercentile

Out of 699 buildings in this neighborhood, 573 are predicted to be safer. The band is relative to this neighborhood, so a share of every neighborhood falls in each colour.
